Andrew Winters

Andrew Winters, Ph.D., MSW, is an Assistant Professor at the University of Louisville Kent School of Social Work and on the Advisory Board of the Center for Family and Community Well-Being. Dr. Winters has 17 years of clinical practice experience, 15 years of academic teaching experience, and 7 years of research experience, and brings a direct application of practice to his social work research and teaching. His research trajectory developed from his practice experience. He worked with marginalized and diverse populations for most of his practice career, and from a micro level saw gaps regarding service delivery. This experience led him to pursue a PhD in order to inform service provision within child serving systems. His research questions focus attention on the relative effectiveness of different types of services provided through behavioral health, juvenile justice, and child welfare systems to children and adolescents involved in these systems. His overarching question is what works, under which circumstances. Dr. Winters is a member of the QIC-WD evaluation team.
